If you are an Identity Provider (IdP), you can use ECA360 to authenticate users with different authentication mechanisms - username/password, Paypal OpenID, other OpenID providers, and even Facebook. On top of this authentication, you can layer second-factor authentication provided by Intel's Nordic Edge OTP soft-tokens to achieve higher level of security assurance.

If you are a Service Provider (SP also known as relying party), you can deploy ECA360 to accept federated authentication using SAML from partner IdPs as well as accept authentication from Paypal OpenID and other OpenID providers

If you are an OpenID provider, you can use ECA360 to send SAML tokens (assertions) to application endpoints that only accepts SAML
